Louisiana. Union Rear Admiral David Glasgow Farragut remained above Port Hudson with USS Hartford and USS Albatross, awaiting the arrival of the ships passing Vicksburg from the north (see Vicksburg, Mississippi below).
Louisiana. Union Major-General John Alexander McClernand completed the rough 70-mile corduroy road from Milliken’s Bend to the proposed river crossing over the Mississippi below Vicksburg at Hard Times and New Carthage.
Louisiana. Union Major-General Ulysses Simpson Grant rode from Young’s Point to New Carthage, arriving at about midday.
Vermillion Bayou, Louisiana, or Bayou Vermillion. Union Major-General Nathaniel Prentiss Banks moved Brigadier-General Cuvier Grover’s division (4/XIX) by water to Donaldsonville and it then began a march to Thibodeaux up Bayou La Fourche. Confederate Major-General Richard Taylor withdrew ahead of these superior forces and reached Vermillionville, where he crossed Vermillion Bayou, destroyed the bridge, and then rested his troops. The two other advancing Union divisions under Major-General Christopher Columbus Augur and Brigadier-General William Hemsley Emory marched in two columns on different roads to the Vermilion River (Vermillion Bayou). One column reached the bayou while the bridge was burning, then it advanced and began skirmishing. The Confederate artillery was well placed and forced the Union troops back until Union artillery opened a duel with its Confederate counterpart. After dark, the Confederates retreated to Opelousas, having delayed the Union advance only briefly. Casualties were not reported. (CWSAC Limited Battle Union Victory)
Vicksburg, Mississippi. On a clear night with no moon, Union Rear Admiral David Dixon Porter sent seven gunboats and three empty troop transports loaded with stores to run past Vicksburg to New Carthage. The force included USS Benton, USS Lafayette, USS Louisville, USS Pittsburg, USS Mound City, USS Carondelet, and USS Tuscumbia; the captured steam ram USS General Sterling Price was lashed to the starboard side of USS Lafayette for the passage, as was tug Ivy to USS Benton. Each ship except USS Benton also towed a coal barge. The ships took care to minimize noise and lights and moved at the slowest, quietest pace but their preparations proved ineffective. Each ship steered to one side of the ship fifty yards ahead to avoid collisions in the event of damage or loss.
Fires were set along the banks to improve visibility and Confederate sentries sighted the boats. Before midnight, massive artillery fire opened from the 44 guns in the Confederate batteries on the high bluffs of Vicksburg at about 11.40 pm. The Union gunboats answered back with as many of their 79 guns as could be brought to bear. Porter observed that the Confederates mainly hit the high parts of his boats, reasoned that they could not depress their guns, and had them hug the east shore, right under the Confederate guns, so close that he could hear their commanders giving orders and with shells flying overhead. Under fire for two and a half hours from 11 pm, the Confederates fired 525 heavy rounds; 68 of them found a target, and every Union ship was hit and damaged to various extents. USS Lafayette, hampered by the ship lashed to her side, received nine shots through her casemate and her coal barge was sunk. The transport Henry Clay was sunk and burned at the water’s edge with no loss of life; the transport Forest Queen was temporarily disabled but rescued by USS Tuscumbia. The third transport and the rest of the fleet survived with reparable damage and headed down to Hard Times, surviving another cannonade at Warrenton and anchored at New Carthage. Pleased and relieved by the limited losses, Porter and Major-General Ulysses Simpson Grant planned a second run within a week in order to provide sufficient boats to ferry Grant’s army across the river and to carry supplies. Thirteen Union crewmen were wounded and none were killed.

Nevada Territory. Incident at Platte River Bridge,
North Carolina. Union expedition from New Bern to Washington.
North Carolina. Skirmish at Core Creek.
Grierson’s Road, Tennessee. Union Colonel Benjamin Henry Grierson’s cavalry began a raid into and through Mississippi. The aim was to divert Confederate attention away from the crossing of the Mississippi south of Vicksburg by Union Major-General Ulysses Simpson Grant. The raiding force comprised 1,700 picked and well-conditioned men of the 6th Illinois Cavalry (Colonel Reuben Loomis), 7th Illinois Cavalry (Colonel Edward Prince), 2nd Iowa Cavalry (Colonel Edward Hatch), and six 2-pounder guns of Battery K 1st Illinois Artillery (Captain Jason B Smith).
Grierson’s command left La Grange, forty miles east of Memphis, at dawn. Their intention was to ride hard, destroying railroads and public property and disrupting Confederate communications with and from Vicksburg. The men were warned to prepare for a long expedition and word was spread that they were heading for Columbus, Georgia, to ensure that any men taken prisoner gave false intelligence to the Confederates. Only Grierson knew that his real objective was the Southern Railroad between Jackson and Meridian in Mississippi. Cutting that line would prevent reinforcements and supplies reaching Vicksburg by rail from the east or from Mobile, Alabama. At this point, the raiders would be deep in Confederate territory and Grierson was given the discretion of how and where to return to Union lines. One option was to return eastwards through Alabama and then north back to Tennessee, a second was to ride west to Grand Gulf on the Mississippi in anticipation of meeting Grant’s army and providing a cavalry screen for its movements, and a third was to head for Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where he would take sanctuary with Major-General Nathaniel Prentiss Banks. The first day’s ride took the raiders south of the state line into Mississippi near Ripley, thirty miles from their starting point.
Virginia. Union expedition from Winchester to Stump’s Tannery began.
